Amy shared 10 fun facts with us
and we're willing to bet that you'll be surprised with at least a few things on
her list!

1. I've
played organized sports since I was 8 years old and played USVBA volleyball in
my 20's.

2. I'm a
certified IntenSati instructor. This powerful

workout
incorporates a mind body spirit practice that includes kick boxing, dance, and
yoga. You say positive affirmations while you work out!

3. I
collect rocks from all over the world.

4. I'm a
daughter of the American Revolution.

5. I'm a
huge audiophile I have a massive music collection.

6. I
train with a professional body builder. It's that physical fitness thing, I
love learning about my body and seeing what it can do.

7. I have
a fantasy about becoming a Latin dancer or a fly girl.

8. I have
a comical alter ego named "Judy" who smokes fake cigarettes, cusses
like a sailor and yells at people.

9. I've
been told I have gifts to become a shamanic healer and this is something I'm
going to pursue.

10. I
have a hyper acute sense of smell and I enjoy mixing my own fragrance using
essential oils and other single note scents.

Share
with us what you have in common with Amy in the comments section and be entered
to win 10 yards of her new fabric collection, Bright Heart!! Contest is now CLOSED! Congrats to Stephanie Daniel for winning!

Besides the fact that I love Amy's fabric I also collect rocks petrified wood to be exact my sister and I discovered a petrified forest on one of our hikes in Oregon ,we have tons of chrystals and Amber along with amethyst and many other stones and rocks

I too love to collect rocks. My parents were glad to get those out of their house once I had a house of my own! Really, who doesn't appreciate a prime example of dogtooth calcite?!

The acute olfactory gift comes to me only in pregnancy. I find scent to be a very personal thing and cannot bring myself to purchase perfume, candles, etc., for others as I usually don't like what others do.

Love all of this! I also collect Rocks from everywhere and working all over the world..currently just brought home some from Kenya. I have also instilled this in my 9 year old who has an uncanny knack for finding rocks shaped like hearts so now we have two collections :)

Hi Amy I am from Australia. I have strong sense of smell and can pick up on things waaaay before other people. I just love your fabrics and love using them to create magical little numbers for magical little people:)

I have been a fan of Amy's fabric when I started working in a quilt shop at the age of 17, that was 9 years ago! It's fun to hear about her "non-quilting" life hobbies! I also very much enjoy using essential oils!

Hi Amy, you are the designer who first got me interested in quilting and fabric design waay back in 2006! I love your sense of colour, generosity of spirit and beautiful work :-) We have at least three things in common, I too, loooove music and always need to listen to something whilst working; I also have fantasised about being a latin dancer!; and my sense of smell is quite sensitive--so my partner tells me often!

How fun to learn more about one of my favorite designers! I am also a massive music lover (I have a degree in music and am a flautist) and have an extremely large and varied music collection! iwuflutegurl (at) gmail (dot) com

I also have a really strong sense of of smell... which I have to say is not always a good thing!I had never heard of IntenSati before and I checked it out online. I wish that there was a class near me!

I have been "collecting" rocks since my early days on my dad's farm and later as a partner in a farming operation. This type of rock collecting is not for the faint of heart! I love Amy's fabrics and would love to win some of it. Thank you!

I played tennis from the time I was about 4 through high school and I ADORE fragrances and would love to mix my own! Diptyque is my favorite brand right now, I love their 34- so sumptuous! I would also love to win some of this fantastic new collectionAmy has designed!

I have a couple of things in common with Amy. I have loved playing organized sports from childhood and played soccer into my thirties. I also trained at one point with a professional body builder and continue to this day to weight train (hooked on keeping strong and seeing what my body is capable of). I have an acute sense of smell and have been using essential oils for 20 years.

I have a few things in common! I collect rocks, too, but from different places I've paddled my kayak to. I also have a highly sensitive smeller, and play around with mixing and making my own bath and body products. When I was younger, I was very much into fitness, but now that I'm old, I'm just satisfied with being very active. What a great give away!

I love the name of this new fabric line, Bright Heart. I feel like the line not only represents Amy's bright heart, but it speaks to me as well. I have been working out with a personal trainer to make my body stronger. I like that Amy takes great care of her mind and body. It's essential to living a good, creative life!

First I love Amy Butler fabrics so would love to win this. I am a huge audiophile, collecting tons of CDs, mostly classical, jazz, broadway musicals, 1970s singer songwriter, Christmas, and of course the Beatles! (I have also made a Beatles quilt, with blocks representing 57 of their songs!) I collect bells instead of rocks, and thousands of books. I hope to become more fit - I'm now counting my steps with a FitBit zip. Maybe yoga in the future!

I too find rocks irrestible and have quite a collection. I love music too, but content myself with online streaming services rather than collecting it. And I hope to have Intensati in common with Amy in the near future. It sounds great and I'm going to investigate. And of course, I love love love Amy Butler fabric!

I also have an acute sense of smell. Most of the time it's a good thing but at other times it's not so great. Another thing that is slightly in common is that while she collects rocks I collect sea glass.

I love color,in my home using what I create.I am peaceful spirit, I love nature, life and fabric and most 0f all animals. I make colorful kitty nip pouches from my dried cat nip in my garden. I am passionate about life, just like you Amy.

I, like Amy, love yoga and connecting with my body and spirit through movement.I'm a DAR too! (Totally forgot about that part of my past until I read this fun fact about Amy.)I have a heart rock collection with heart shaped rocks from various beaches all over the world.I love to travel.I love color.I love Amy Butler! Her sweet spirit and her creativity are an inspiration.

I have a sensitive sniffer too, especially when I was pregnant! I still have it though, my husband tells me it could be my super power. I love Amy Butler fabrics to much and her patterns too! I have the honeybun pouf sitting in my living room! Thanks for the chance to win awesome fabric! cherisetoweratyahoodotca

I like to dance too, but only to upbeat rock and roll.But I really like her fabrics, so presumably we also have that in common!I don't think I can heal other people but I am what is sometimes called--a healer. Cuts heal fast, etc. Some people just are, you know.Thanks for the great giveaway. What a wonderful prize.

Like Amy I workout with a trainer twice a week, it keeps me quite strong and balanced for an old girl. I love fabric and color and making quilts for Quilts for Kids. I make at lease one a month so it helps me move through my stash(which doesn't seem to diminish?) I am addicted to fabric.

I don't collect rocks, but i have lots of them around my house that my kids have collected over the years! I am just getting back into sewing after a long break and would love to add to my rather sparse collection.

I am also a Daughter of the American Revolution. My family in America goes back to the 1600s. My house also dates back to the colonial times. I love carrying on the family tradition of sewing and quilt making and I love your fabrics!

I am married to an audiophile...does that count? I just like my music with a heavy bass. I don't collect rocks...I collect Fabric when I travel. I dream of what it will become and later I can remember the great trip we had :)
